Maybe you can find an useful plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ which allows you to assign different menus to different pages. Choices use a standard wordpress function to call the menu and a plugin which hooks into this function should work without additional/custom code.

Thanks for the reply. Amazingly, I’ve searched through the plugins and done several google searches and just haven’t found a plugin that does this. Found several that do other menu-type things (such as showing a menu in the page, or widget/menus etc).

If I am daring to try this customization on my own, can you offer any suggestions of how to start? (I think I read that you’re not accepting any custom work these days, but if you are let me know!)

For example, would it be wise to create 3 different template pages and call different menus from there?

Or, I found this bit of conidtional code that I could try but wasn’t sure where to put it:

<?php

if(is_front_page()) :

$exclude = ‘10,11,12’;

elseif(is_page(15)) :

$exclude = ‘1,2,3’;

endif;

wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1&exclude=’ . $exclude);

?>

I know this is above and beyond typical theme support but I’d appreciate any nudges in the right direction!!

This works really well and I was able to get three distinct menus to show on three pages. But….

I looked at the codex for is_page references and tried to work in this idea I saw there: is_page(array(42,’about-me’,’Contact’)); where I put in all the page names of the pages that should show a certain menu.

But that didn’t work.

I was able to repeat the ‘else if’ code and it worked. I am willing to do that for each page if necessary. Unless you can suggest an easier method?
